Blessed by light : visions of the Colorado Plateau
(Non-circulating Book, Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

This book communicates a vision of the Colorado Plateau seen through the eyes of a new generation. Most of the photographers in Blessed by Light are in their thirties and forties. They came to the land for personal fulfillment--not as artists or commercial photographers. They are park rangers, biologists, teachers, archeologists, writers, wilderness outfitters. Everything they know about themselves and the land is distilled in these photographs. They transcend the literal. The common thread is light--the magical, iridescent light that happens when clear air, naked rock, and sun collide. The book pairs thematic portfolios of photographs with words from a century of the region's most eloquent writers. Blessed by Light is the first collection by this new generation.
